Affordability, better communication and complicated insurance plans were just some of the issues brought up at a health care forum in Bedford today. Among those attending were state and national health care experts who offered presentations and participated in panel discussions on the future of the industry. The conference - sponsored by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield - gave doctors, patients, and insurers the chance to discuss topics such as prescription drug trends and employer-based benefits. One expert says while the managed-care field has made progress in controlling prices, advanced medical improvements might still be years away. |

And Maggie Solomon will be running again this year in the 65-69 age group. The racing field was decided back in March with an online lottery, so it's too late to register, but you can go and watch.
